CHX2190a 30-60GHz Frequency Multiplier GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC Description The CHX2190a is a cascadable by 2 frequency multiplier monolithic circuit. It is designed for a wide range of applications, from military to commercial communication systems. The backside of the chip is both RF and DC grounds. This helps simplify the assembly process. The circuit is manufactured with a PM-HEMT process, 0.15µm gate length, via holes through the substrate, air bridges and electron beam gate lithography. Main Features Frequency performance : 28-30GHz 4dB conversion loss DC bias : Vd=3.3V @ Id<3mA Chip size : 1.47 x 1.12 x 0.10 mm Main Characteristics Tamb. = 25°C Symbol Fin Parameter Min Typ Max Unit Input frequency range 28 30 GHz Fout Output frequency range 56 60 GHz Pin Input power 0 3 5 dBm Lc Conversion loss 1 4 6 dB ESD Protection : Electrostatic discharge sensitive device.
